Chemical shift assignments of calmodulin bound to a C-terminal site (residues 1120–1147) in the β-subunit of a retinal cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGB1)

Abstract

Retinal cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels consist of two protein subunits (CNGA1 and CNGB1). Calmodulin (CaM) binds to two separate sites within the cytosolic region of CNGB1: CaM binding to an N-terminal site (human CNGB1 residues 565–587, called CaM1) decreases the open probability of CNG channels at elevated Ca2+ levels in dark-adapted photoreceptors, whereas CaM binding to a separate C-terminal site (CNGB1 residues 1120–1147, called CaM2) may increase channel open probability in light activated photoreceptors. We recently reported NMR chemical shift assignments of Ca2+-saturated CaM bound to the CaM1 site of CNGB1 (BMRB no. 51222). Here, we report complete NMR chemical shift assignments of Ca2+-saturated CaM bound to the C-terminal CaM2 site of CNGB1 (BMRB no. 51447).
